Obviously more money chasing the same thing but this is nuts. No wonder kids graduate from college owing six figures ---and Mizzou is cheap

https://www.umsystem.edu/media/fa/budget/resident-undergraduate-fy1973-2005.pdf

I was lucky enough to go when between working and the VN GI Bill I was able to pay for undergrad, law and 2 years of my wifes and a Masters Degree for her. And didn't owe a dime when we graduated. Just look at the annual increases--10 years plus were double digit between 1973 and 2005. Lord knows what happened last 10 years. I paid for my kids but I was working and not like in school at UPS

We don't need free education but we need something to bring the costs under control. This is nuts Luckily I could pay for two generations mine and my kids. What will this generation do?
